The Perfect Fit: 9 Smallest RVs with Shower and Toilet for Nomadic Comfort

We’ve been living in a Sprinter van for the past two years – the same chassis where many companies build out their smallest RVs with a shower and toilet. Since we did a DIY van, we opted NOT to have a bathroom in our van.

However, I just spent a month traveling Europe in a variety of small RVs with bathrooms, and it WAS nice to have that hot shower and place to pee inside my rig. We refrained from going #2, though, as that can be gross to dump when you have a cassette toilet.

For the non-squeamish, a small RV with a shower and toilet can have a lot of benefits and is the ONLY way many people will travel, especially full-time.

With that in mind, here are some of our top picks!

The Smallest RVs With Shower and Toilet We Could Find

3. Airstream Basecamp

• Length: 16′ – 20′
• Height: exterior – 8′ 8.75” / interior – 6′ 3.5”
• Sleeps: 2 – 4
• Bathroom: Wet

When you picture a trailer, you instantly think of the iconic Airstream.

The Basecamp smallest RV with toilet and shower merges the classic Airstream aluminum shiny look with a more modern shape. The front is very similar to that of those old-school trailers you’re used to seeing on the NASA launchpad. From the back, it almost resembles a tiny spaceship. We can see what Airstream did there.

The interior is very contemporary and all the furniture follows and complements the rounded shapes of the exterior. You can choose between 4 floorplans – 2 at 16′ long and 2 at 20′ long. The layouts are very similar. They all feature a dinette that turns into a bed, a small kitchen, and a wet bath. The bigger models have an extra dinette in the front, which means they can sleep 4 people.

Among the options, there’s a two-room tent attachment, which gives you the option to camp with more people.

As you’d expect, Airstreams don’t come cheap. However, going for a smaller trailer will save you a decent amount of money.

RV Bathrooms Explained

As we are talking about the smallest RV with shower and toilet, you need to place your expectations into perspective. These rigs are compact, and the fact that they contain a toilet, let alone a full bathroom, is miraculous. 

There are two types of bathrooms when looking at RVs with a shower and toilet: wet baths and dry baths.

Wet Baths:

These types of RV bathrooms are an all-in-one setup. The room has a toilet at the base (as per usual) however, the shower is basically over the top of it.

This allows you to shower in the traditional standing position next to the loo, or you can sit on the closed lid for a sitting shower. Now that’s ingenuity.

These smallest RVs with shower and toilet do take some getting used to, as every time you shower, the toilet, sink and entire bathroom gets wet.

Dry Baths:

A dry bathroom means the toilet is separate from the shower in an RV. This is a nice concept but it means you’ll sacrifice storage space and sitting room in your rig.

These bathrooms are harder to find in the smallest RV with toilet and shower.
